Canvas system working again following Amazon Web Services outage

October 20, 2025 | San Diego Community College District

Update: 5 p.m.

Canvas system is working again following AWS outage.


Original post 3 p.m.

Our Canvas learning management system is currently unavailable due to a widespread outage affecting Amazon Web Services (AWS), which hosts the platform.
 
This outage has global implications, impacting over 6.5 million users and more than 1,000 apps and services across various industries and sectors. AWS is actively working to restore full functionality, but at this time, there is no estimated time for resolution. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
 
We understand this disruption may affect activities and we sincerely appreciate your patience and flexibility as we navigate this issue.
 
Unfortunately, there is no current workaround available for accessing Canvas during this outage. As a result the Helpdesk and onsite ITS support are unable to facilitate access.
